“I’m stoked to finally be able to compete at the AUS-X Open," said Maddison, who hails from Kiama (NSW) but now based in America.

"I can’t wait to ride in front of a packed stadium, so close to home in front of friends and family and compete in front of our passionate Aussie fans.”

Maddison, who holds the world record for the longest distance ever jumped on a motorcycle at 107m (351 feet), recently became the first person ever to ride a specially modified motorcycle across water, to ‘surf’ one of the world’s most infamous waves, Teaupoo in Tahiti.
